"VOTING BY ELECTRICITY"
Representative Estos Kefauver, of Tennessee, has writ
ten a book entitled "A Twentieth Century Congress" in
which, we learn from the Oregonian, it is proposed that elec
tric voting apparatus be installed in the senate and the house.
According to Kefauver, as reported by the Oregonian, "24
legislative days are consumed by the house and sixteen by
the senate each year just in answering roll calls." With
electric apparatus "all members would respond simultane
ously simply by pressing a button at their seats." With such
a system as now used in Texas and Virginia Mr. Kefauver
contends that an entire state senate or house can register
its vote in 21 seconds.
Not having seen the Tennessee representative's book we
cannot discuss his proposal on the basis of the stated terms
covering this subject of voting by electricity. We wonder,
however, whether he has explained fully the disadvantages
of such procedure and we wonder that the Oregonian has
not touched on them whether Mr. Kefauver did so or not.
The essential difficulty is found in- the phrase, "pressing
a button at their seats." That presupposes, of course, that
. when a vote comes up the members are in their seats and that
is not at all the case. They are scattered all over the lot,
many that is in their offices, in restaurants, in committee
rooms. Some are on the floor- Let something develop that
requires their presence, a quorum call or a vote, for instance,
and bells ring in all places where a member is likely to be
and in due course he goes to the floor and responds. "In due
course," we say, meaning that he will hasten or take his
time depending on the place of his name in the alphabetical
list.
The process is, indeed, a time consuming one but its in
herent difficulties are hardly to be remedied by electrical
voting for the simple reason already stated members are
not ordinarily all in their seats at all times or even most
of the time.
If it is answered to this that electrical voting would force
members to be in their seats we counter with an expression
of doubt. Prove us wrong and we come up with another
reply that such forced attendance would not save but, in
fact, waste time because the periods that members were in
their seats would be time lost from necessary committee and
other work.
In state legislatures, on the contrary, we believe that elec
trical voting would save time and we think that the other
states might well follow the examples already set by Texas
and Virginia. If the method is ever adopted in Oregon it
will be found that the installation of the necessary equip
ment will be simple for, as the second and final report of
the capitol reconstruction commission said :
The necessary conduits and space for recording devices
have been provided in the two legislative chambers lor use in
case the method of recording votes by machine is ever adopted.
: r jtu-'1...1... ..i
Senator Wayne Morse denies Henry Wallace's statement
that he would go along with a third party movement. That
way lies oblivion, which Mr. Morse simply couldn't stand.
For the time being the good old democratic party seems to
be meeting the senator's needs.

Washington
Column
By Peter Edson
(KEA Washington Correspondent)
Washington, D. C. The parade
to congress of ' special interests
wanting government-guaranteed
subsidies to keep going is appar
ently without end. Now it's some
887 operators of high production
cost U. S. copper, lead and zinc
mines. Their pet bill for a $-100
million S80 million a year for
five years subsidy plan will be
up before the house soon.
And unless they get it, extend
ing their wartime premium price
plan under which, they will have
received S345 million in the five
years ending June 30, many of
those marginal mine operators
claim they will have to close down.
They don't want it to happen.
They never had subsidies before
the war, but they learned to like
them. They claim that if they
shut their mines down now and
for long, it will be Impossible to
reopen. They claim closing will
throw 6,000 mines out of work.
They claim congress must do
something to aid small business
and fight monopoly the bigger,
lower cost mines that can operate
and make money without subsidy.
Finally, these high-cost producers
claim the U. S. should do some
thing to build up its stockpile of
strategic metals, for another war.
Under urging of the marginal
mine operators, two bills have
been introduced in congress to
keep them going. The one by Sen.
Arthur V. Watkins of Utah is fair
ly simple and of short range. It
would authorize the government
to continue subsidizing copper,
lead and zinc production until the
remaining $40 million of last
year's $100 million appropriation
for premium pavments is expend
ed. The other, house bill is far more
sweeping. It is backed by Con
gressmen Fussell of Nevada, Al
len of Illinois, Harless of Arizona,
Hill of Colorado, Meyer of Kan
sas, and others. After being ap
proved by a mining subcommittee,
the bill was hung up for over
five weeks in Chairman Allen's
house rules committee. But it has
now been reported out and will
probably pass the house.
Instead of confining subsidies
to copper, lead and zinc, the Rus
sell bill, as it is called, would
cover all the 50 scarce metals on
the army-navy munitions board
critical list.
A new Office of Materials sep
arate from the Bureau of Mines
would be set up in the department
of interior to run the program.
Its director would have power to
say what subsidies are paid to
whom and for what metals. Sub
jected to pressure from ever
marginal mine owner in the coun
try and with $80 million a year to
pass out, this official might get
an awful pushing around.
Bureau of mines has opposed
the Russell bill. Its experts are
not convinced that subsidies will
conserve the domestic supply of
scarce metals. They have estimat
ed the U. S. now has only a 25
year reserve of copper, lead, and
zinc in the ground.
A subsidy on all scarce metals
production, it is argued, would
cause over-production. Th; would
force down the price. That in turn
would make it necessary to pay
still higher subsidies to meet the
difference between low market

price and hiRh production cost.
This could lead to a vicious down
ward price spiral which would
cost the government far more than
the $400 million. '
The war department has taken
no official position on this sub
sidy policy question, believing
that it is up to congress. Under
secretary of war Kenneth C. Roy
all, however, in testimony before
the house mining committee has
pointed out that over-stimulation
of production by subsidy pay
ments might defeat its own pur
pose by depleting domestic sourc
es. One reason the bigger, low-cost
mine owners oppose subsidies is
the fear that they will lead to
nationalization of all mines. The
International Union of Mine, Mill
and Smelter Workers, CIO,
through Its Washington director,
Howard Lee, has Issued a state
ment saying that It congress docs
not authorize a subsidy for these
marginal mines, it will demand
nationalization.
